Marine Corps Popular.
While army nnd navy officials are
lamenting the reluctance of young
men to enlist In these services, those
of the marine corps art felicitating
themselves that up to the limit au
thorized by law the quota of that or-
esnlzatlon Is practically complete.
The record of enlistments for Novem
ber was the best In the history of the
eorps, more thnn 900 men being en
rolled. This condition Is remarkable
when It Is considered that the ma
rines serve with seamen who may se-
-uro for themkelven a monthly wage
of .70 besides allowances, while the
marlDo may not hope, under present
conditions, to get more tlinn $37 a
month. The army Is nearly 19,000
mon short of Its authorized strength
and the navy 8,000..
To Prevent Accidents.
Lieutenant Leigh C. Palmer, ord
nance officer of the Vermont, has
worked out the details of a system for
convoying powder for turret use In a
manner that seems destined to suc
ceed. Hy the new scheme powder will
be elevated by hand power to the
turret room and the magailne with
the Idea of rendering Imiiosslhle nn
accident such as happened on the
Missouri. The powder will be kept In
a system of locks, with boxes so ar
ranged that when the top ts opened
the bottom must close, olid vice versa.
It Is asserted that by hand loading the
rapidity of tiring can be brought up to
four or alx shots a minute, and officers
expect to do better than this.
No New Members.
For the first time In many years
there Is no application tor member

of the board who have been connected
with the Institution for twenty years
past say they can not remember any
such occurrence before. The demand
for membership has been fist for some
time, and it has been come time since
there has been a sale. Memberships
are offered for sale at $3,500 net to (be

Favor State War Colleges.
The plan of President K. J. James,
of the University of Illinois, for the
establishment of a war college at the
University of Illinois has beea ap
proved by the war department. This
plan calls for a five-year military
course, the graduates to receive com
missions In the army. All state uni
versities are to have the same privi
leges, In nn effort to better the condi
tion of the army.

THE STREETS OF ATLANTA THESE CHRISTMAS TIMES.
The sunshine of an ideal December day falls In softened glory upon
the surging masses which crowd the thoroughfares In the shopping dis
tricts of Atlanta. The thlu coating of Ice which glazed the sidewalks In
the early morning hours quickly vanished before the warmth of a win-,
tor's sun. Th« crisp atmosphere Is charged os by an electric current
with the anticipations of a great city's population. The very air Is al
ready vibrant with exiieotatlon of the most beautiful festival In the cal
endar of the Christian church. <
Men, women and children, rich nnd poor, great, near great, and not
great at all. are Imbued with the sweet and generous sentiment of the
Christmas tide. The stores are congested with shoppers, all Intent upon
the purchasing of gifts; all aglow with a desire to make somebody hap
pier and perchance to lighten the burdena that weigh heavily upon the
hearts and shoulders of loved ones. The shop windows are gorgeous In
(heir trappings and alluring displays of glittering gems; burnished sliver
and gold; human looking dolls; toys that rival In mechanism the great
inventions of this mechanical age; beautiful specimens from the looms
of the Orient and the mills of America and rare and exquisite hrlc-a-brae
fit for the palace of a king.
Mingling with these splendid material things hang the crimson
Christmas bells, ganands of holly and branches of mistletoe, the tender
significance of which arrests the attention and evokes a silent tribute from
the most eager buyer, who jostles his way amid the. hurrying crowds.
Little children with the beauty of an unquestioning faith, shining out of
their innocent eye's, peer Into the splendid windows and count the slow-
moving days, before the coming of Santa Claus.
The vender or holly wreaths has made his annual stand on the street
corners and wagons loaded with Christmas greens are surrounded by men
and women' tvbo feel that Christmas would be a barren, cbeorless festival
unless {lolly wreaths hang In Ibeir windows and tho gleaming mistletoe
pearls make royal and brilliant color schemes, nestling close to tbb crim
son Christmas bells. The mon who sell quaint, quivering toys on the
streets; boys who call to the passers-by of the value of their highly-col
ored wares and the Insistent tinkle of the little bells on the street cor
ners In the hands of representatives of the Salvation Army, reminding
the busy, surging throngs of the needs of the helpless poor, all tell In
their own peculiar way of the coming of Christmas In this great city.
The stores are reaping a rich, unprecedented harvest which for the
present destroys Interest In tho price of stocks and cotton and In the re-
polls from the great money centers of the world.
Atlanta pulses with aentlmont la these days which precede the anni
versary of the coming of the Christ child, and on every aide In the won
derful shops, on the crowded streets, humanity Is temporarily holding In
abeyance Its selfish, calculating material side, while the tender beautiful
spirit of the Christmas season has possession of the universe. The senti
ment and purpose of the mission of tho Magi of old has become the domi
nant expression of men, women and children throughout the Christmas
world at this wonderful time. Each recurring year finds tho aweet and
marvellous lessons taught at the humble manger In Bethlehem more uni
versally accepted by tho human race. Christmas Is coming and Its ap
proach brings Into each heart and home a glow of eager anticipation that
tells of love^ hope and an unselfish doing for those whom we love and for
those who love us.
PROHIBITION IN THE NATIONAL SENATE.
The action of Senator Tillman, of Sonth Carolina, on Wednesday In
forcing upon the attention of hlB colleagues In the senate a consideration
of Federal legislation to enable prohibition stntoa to enforce their laws
regarding the sale of liquor, was tho Initial step at this session In .deal
ing with a very serious problem.
As Is well known, whisky dealers who have been forced to chango
their places of busineec, going Into adjacent states, because or statutory
prohibition laws, are already Hooding the malts with letters (Ad cards,
advertising their wares and soliciting the patronage—through the ex
press companies—of Individuals and families who can not purchase liq
uors In a dry town.
Theso dealers expect to reap a rich financial harvest from persons
whose orders can be filled at a distance and shipped to their very doors.
It Is this acute and dangerous phase of tho prohibition question that
aroused Senator Tillman In' the national senate on Wednesday.
What Is known as the Wilson bill, passed at a previous congress, has
been subject to endless controversy, phrased aa It was In a way to admit
of varying Interpretations. The action of the supreme court of the
United States In holding that the use of the word "arrive" In the Wilson
bill, means actual delivery to the consignee, has never been accepted as'
correct or flnkl by s largo majority of people concerned In this Important
Issue of prohibition. This dissenting class contends that the word "ar
rive" stands for the receipt of liquor on the borders of a state. Senator
Tillman's familiarity with the difficulties surrounding the enforcement of
the dispensary laws of South Carolina especially fits him for a discussion
at this time of all the Intricacies of a question which Is rapidly becoming
of national Import. Senators Bailey, Baird, Knox. Tillman and MoCumber
participated in the discussions of this problem, which Is probably destined
to become of great and almost universal concern throughout the entire
country.
The position taken by Senator Knox, of Pennsylvania, on Wednesday
was peculiarly significant. In speaking of the decision of the supreme
court, Mr. Knox said, "I don't bellevo that It Is necessary to deal with this
matter by a resolution. Von are perfectly certain In a short time to havo
bills presented which will necessarily receive attention. Prohibition Is In
creasing and will continue to Increase."
A recent editorial In Harper’s Weekly calls attention to another phase
of the prohibition question which will necesssrily receive the attention of
law-makers, as the states adopting prohibition adjust themselves to their
new conditions. This sldollght thrown by Htrper’s Weekly refers to a
disregard- of certain legal provisions when a whisky dealer advertises his
wares within tho borders of n prohibition state. This breaking of a state
law. Intended to be strlngont and binding, will have to be enforced by en
actment* from the same national authority as ihall soon deal with the In
terpretation of Interstate commerce enactment* regulating liquor traffic
In section* which have passed strict statutory laws.
ARE OUR FIGHTING MEN PAID ENOUGH?
According to the annual report of Major General Ainsworth, the ad
jutant general, the actual strength of the entire military establishment
on October 15 last wAs 58,998 men. Including 3,890 officers, but not In
cluding 3,400 men of the Hospital Corps, so that the establishment was
19,(71 men short of Its authorised strength. The deficiency on the
corresponding date the preceding year was'7,830 men. During the last
fiscal year there was 4,623 desertions, 6.6 per cent of the trmy, as against
7.4 per cent daring the preceding year.
In discussing the bill to be Introduced st tbit session or congress,
providing for a general Increase In the pay of tho officers and men In
the army and navy, Rear Admiral W. T. Burwell, commandant of the
Puget Sound yard, said that he can not live aa well on his salary now as
a rear admiral as he could twenty-five years ago, on hit pay as a lieu
tenant. He said further:
"Thirty years ago, as a lieutenant, t lived much better, kept a horse
and carriage and had more available ready money than 1 have now on
more than double the pay, owing to, the advance In the cost of living
and the necessarily Increased expenses In the higher position. That’s
how the older officers are affected. As to the younger officers, the psy
of a lieutenant will not go as far as would that of a midshipman twenty-
five years ago. The cost of living nnd the relative compensation In other
lines of effort have Increased out of all proportion to the advance In the
pay In the navy. Petty officers required to be first clsss mechanics get
little more (hkn the pay of civilian laborers, and It Is a fact that lu
many Instances they are paid less (ban the •mechanics working under
them."
NO CHANGE MADE BY THE Y. M. C. A.
Unfounded reports from the International Convention of the Young
Men* Christian Association have given the Impression that In* associa
tions have let down the religious bars which for forty years have kept
from active membership In the associations men who were not members
of evangelical churches. Aa a matter of tact, there baa been no change
In the membership requirements, nor are any In contemplation.
During the convention jnst held in Washington tho evangelical basis
of active membership was considered by a committee of which the Rev.
Dr. Edward I. Bosworth, of Obcrlln Seminary, was chairman. On the
recommendation of this committee the convention reaffirmed the basis
'or active membership first adopted by the associations la 18(3.

World Needs Good Mothers j
By DR. CLARA LI NZEN-ERNEST,
Of Berlin.
The deeper we go Into the woman ques
tion the more we discover how closely It la
connected with iiH’lologlcal problems. It
goes with It as waU the whole social ques
tion—n stone ho* been thrown Into the
water and the concentric circles spread out
farther and farther.
At the fourth nui/nl conference of the
I’rogresalve Women * Association, which
wan held at Fraukfort-oiLthe-Malii, from
Heptember 27 to 30. the question of the In
crease of population was treated In a lec
ture by Dr. Professof Otbraar Spann, who
proved that this question waa cloaely con
nected with tho woman question. v .
Wlint Is the highest Ideal, tbs deepest
longing of the woman's movement? "Give
ns good mother*”—women who are mental
ly nnd bodily snne. women who dcifond all
huniun rights, because they nre subject to
the hardeat of human duties, and who
mlt to It willingly. We need this kind of
women and mothers.
Long before the woman’s rights move
ment formulated Itp demands In detail,
which are all Intended to derate woman; n
K nt rann, Emperor Napoleon I, said that
re wns nothing the world waa more In
red of than good mothers.
The greatest wealth of any nation la Its

that counts. Let the soil be ever so fertile,
the depths of the earth be ever ao rich lu

Synopsis of Previous Installment,
llrrrldew'e valet innIirR love to Olive, and
the girl, feeling that n ImM on the mnn may
prove ndvnntngeone, Olrts with him. hhe
manngee to semi the original of the papers
stolen from the foreign offloe to I-ewre-
r'nsemeot. One night she ntnaerhe Mr
.Merrldew's room end Bnds more evidence
that almost eonvlnees her that her father
really wa» Mrs. Merrldsw'a husband.
That "Thank God!" at the end of
the trial was eloquent Indeed. It meant
that Mrs. Merrldew had cause to fear
the man: and In a second Olive resolved
that he must be brought Into her life
again. How could she manage this?
She thought of Mr. Casement. . He
might be abb; to find out In what pris
on Purvis was serving, and the time
of his liberation. Then means might
be found to convey to him the Informa
tion where he would find Mrs, Merrldew
on his release.
She wrote a long letter to the law
yer explaining everything; telling him
her wish; and urging him to do his
utmost to .carry out the plan which
had occurred to her.
For tho rest of the night and all
the following day she could think of
little but the fateful discovery she had
made among Mrs. Merrldew's papers.
That portrait of her father hauntod
her; and the words—"My wife that
Is to be"—rang in her cars like a
dirge, depressing her, until It was only
with a great effort that she could play
her part as the light-hearted Irish
girl.
In the afternoon Mrs. Cooper sent
her Into tho village on a little er
rand. It wns the first time she had
been there since her loss of fortune;
and the sadness of the thoughts which
were stirred by the sight of the familiar
scenes was all tho deeper because of
this new depression.
Had she faced all the difficulties
and dangers of the quest only to find
at the end that there was no fraud at
all, but that she had been rightly dis
inherited? Was It possible that her
dear father, whom she had revered and
loved aa the very soul of honor, could
so have deceived her mother? She
recalled the devoted love and tender
ness which she' had seen him lavish
upon her mother In the year* she could
remember. And every act seemed to
give the lie to this new suspicion.
If this terrible thing were true, that
must all have been Inspired rather by
remorse than true love. No, no, a thou
sand ttmee no. But then those words
would recur—"My wife that Is to be' —
until tho struggle to convince herself
became an alraoet Intolerable anguish.
She remembered that old thought of
here—that he had some secret which
he had always kept from them, even
from her tn the happy days at Silver-
beech; and, fight against the feeling aa
she would, this recollection forced Itself
on her as a sbrt of disheartening con
firmation of her dread.
It might have been no more than
tits reluctance to allow the secret of
those old Sheffield day* to get out, with
their story of suspicion and Intrigue
with this evil woman. And Olive drew
comfort from the feet that Mrs.' an 5.,! e 5''®.

Merrldew had deliberately lied about
that time, proclaiming her father guilty
of an actual crime.
But tt was no more than a crutnb
of comfort. And by the time she was
nearing the Manor on her return. Bhe
had already begun to face the alterna
tive of failure In her quest, nnd even
tv. contemplate her plans ofr the future
She would leave the country. That
would he her only course.
Absorbed 111 these thoughts, she was
walking up the drive when she heard
some one running quickly after her.
She turned round, thinking It would
be one of the other servants; Dawleigh,
probably. If he returned: and then start
ed and caught her breath.
It.was Jack. „ •
"Just a moment, please, he called as
he ran.
There wa* no possible escape. She
thought of night: but tt was out of the
question. He would have caught her
In a second or two. The only thing
waa to face him and trust that In the
twilight he might not recognise her.
Quick as thought she put her handkffir

asked, as he reached her. "If «o—by

at her and started.
CHAPTER XLIII.
.Olive’s Ruse.
Olive noticed Jack's start of half
recognition end made haste to aoewer
hls question. •
"Sure, that’s just what I am, yer
honor. If a poor body can be sold to
serve annywan wld a face lolke that the
saints have slnt me for my sins this
day, bod cess to ut.”
* Jack continued to stare right Into her
eye*. "I could have sworn," he mut
tered under hls breath.
"It's what Ol’d lolke to be doin', me-
allf, an' that's no lie.’’ said Olive rue
fully. “An’ If wan. or two little wans,
could ease your honor. I wish you'd
be so kind as to add a wee wan for me
at the same time. Bavin" the grace of
the saints."
“What's your name, my girt?"
"Mollis O’Brien, your honor.”
"Well, I can't see muclt of your face,
but your eyes-are honest as the day—
by Gad. I can’t hetn looking at them!
It's extraordinary’.” ho muttered to him.
self again. “I want you to help me.
Will you?" .
"Sure, an' It'e no sort of help I’d b*
afther being able to render to a folnc
glntleraan lolke your honor/’
"Oh, yes, you can. I only want to
esk you to tell me on what* day Miss
Olive Parmenter was last here."
Olive enutd have smiled at the sim
plicity of this little rate. But the drawn
look of patn In hi* eyes, the harried
expression of hi* features, and the
nervous, eager restlessness of hls man
ner made her heart ache till she longed
to tell him the truth. It was-the se
verest trial she had yetjrad to undergo.
"Dlvll a bit have I Iver seen anny
wan here bearin' that name, your hon
or. But I've been here no longer than
It takes a kitten to open Re eyes."
"Look here, my girl. Til give you any.
thing you tike to ask for. If you tell me
something, anything, about her.”
"Sure, I’d do that eame wldnttt askin'
for anythin! If I could, reetn’ how trou
bled your honor looks about It.”
Jack heaved a deep sigh. "All right. 1
Then I’ll go on to the house,” and with
that ha loft her and hurried on.
It was all that Olive could do to re
strain herself from calling him back
and telling him everything. But they
were already In sight of the house, and
to have told him then would have risked
the whole of her work at the Manor.
Besides, If her new fear were true, she
had none but the worst news to tell hInj
—that they must part for always. Yes.
MUST. There was no other word.
But the eight of hls anguish had
stricken her to the heart. It had been
one thing to tell herself that a day or
two more or less of uncertainty and
suspense would not hurt him. She
could see that every minute must be
a torture, and she went up to her room
heavily and sat thinking how to end It
Presently a thought suggested Itself.
She could not let him go away carry
ing that crushing land of sorrow when
she had the power to remove the
burden. She would write a little note
and find some way of getting It to
him as he left. She could easily fol
low hlm down the drive, slip It Into hls
hand and then dart away Into the
shrubbery and elude him.
"All Is well with me. Havo patience,
and If you value my life do not breaths
a word that you even know I am alive.
"OLIVE."
Prepared with that, she went down
stairs to ascertain what hod occurred
tn Jack’s Interview with tho Merri-
dews.
At the bottom, Dawleigh was waiting
for her.
"You're not going by without a word
that you're glad to see me back again.
Mo]l|e, are you?” he said, putting out
hls hand.
“It len't cryln’ my eyes out for the
loss of yes that I’d be afther doin', Mr.
Dawleigh, Is, It?"
"That’s true In a way, Mollle. I hop*
I shall never do anything to bring tear*
to eyes that are made for laughter as
yours are.”
"Ah, go on wld yea Sure/ I’m that
cross I could scratch the quills off a
hedgehog. I'm Just alolve wld the rag*
and smart of tho thing/’
"What’s up?”
"What's up. Is It? It’s my tooth
that’s up—on sthrolke, be the powers!
an’ It's meself that ud lolke to be up
an’ sthrolkln’ somethin’ or somebody,
too. An’ that’s no lie, at all, at all!”
"I’m awfully sorry, but It needn't
prevent you saying you’re glad to se*
me back again," he said, with a clum
sy attempt to put hls arm around her
waist.
"Ah, l’ave a body alone, do. ’The
tooth Isn't In my waist, now/'
"If you were half as glad to see me
aa I am to see you again you wouldn't
take a fellow so short,” he grumbled,
as he drew hls hand back.
“Maybe I wouldn't. An' maybe If
you’d naif ae bad a tooth you woutdn't
be afther carin' whether you saw me
again or not," she retorted crossly,
wishing the man W9Uld take offense
But he had no Intention of the sort.
"I w*aa. thinking of you, Mollle. all the
time I was away, and, look here, I
want you to do me a favor.”
“If you'll only l’ave me In p’aet,
sure. I’ll do annythlng."
With rather a sheepish air, he
brought a little parcel out of hls pock
et. "It's this. I want you to accept
this and wear It. It only shows I was
thinking of you, you know.”
Olive affected a coquettish curiosity.
"An’ what Is It?"
"Look for yourself," he replied, giv
ing her the parcel.
•Sure, I think It's doin' my tooth
good," she whispered, as she took the
parcel and unfolded tt. Theq she gave
a little cry of pleasure aa she took out
a rather gaudy lace and ribbon tie.
"But that's a rale beauty, Mr. Daw
leigh. An’ Is that—an' did you get
that for—do ye mane I’m to kape It?
Oh!"
“You like it, Mollle?" he asked, smil
ing with delighted self-congratulation
upon the result Of hls Investment.
She held It up as If with rapt ad
miration. "Sure, I wish I waa to wear
It In dear ould Ologhereen. Oh. but It's
Just lovely. Where's a glass? Sure
there's one In the hall." She ragWhere.
‘and, holding the tie to her breast, gazed
at herself ns If fascinated. "But I’ll
nlver be.able to wear It, at all. at
all. Think of what the others 'ud he
afther sayln’, an’ me not knowing you
more'n a few days. too. Why, they’d be

meaningly. ,
"An' a nolce name It Is, too. savin
that I'd rather It was Pat,” she said
with a glance that seemed to speak
volumes. „
'Tm sorry I can’t change It, Mollle,
he said, aw kwardly.
"I'm not so sure I’d have ye chans*
tt,” she replied, with another glance.
“I'd like to change your*/’
“Ah, go long wld yes,” she cried, giv
ing him n little push. "If It’* nonsense
lolke that ye'd be after talkin', you
must take this back again,” and she
held out his present with an atr of re
luctance. .... .

She looked up and laughed. An

"I'm a man who< makes up hls mine

Neither shall I—but that'* not **y-

“I want to talk to you presently about

Sure, I will. But I haven't thanked

"It'e all right." he aald, clumsily
111 at ease, despite the victory, he
thought he had won. "And here* »

She ran up to her room with the par

ble nnd whisked back to learn about
